8 Detailed Description

8.1 OverviewThe fuel gauge accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a single, Li-based, rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such asremaining capacity and state-of-charge (SOC) as well as SOC interrupt signal to the host.

The fuel gauge can control a bq2419x Charger IC without the intervention from an application system processor.Using the bq27531-G1 and bq2419x chipset, batteries can be charged with the typical constant-current,constant-voltage (CCCV) profile or charged using a Multi-Level Charging (MLC) algorithm.

8.3 Feature DescriptionInformation is accessed through a series of commands, called Standard Commands. Further capabilities areprovided by the additional Extended Commands set. Both sets of commands, indicated by the general formatCommand(), are used to read and write information contained within the control and status registers, as well asits data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the I2C serial communications engine,and can be executed during application development, pack manufacture, or end-equipment operation.

Cell information is stored in nonvolatile flash memory. Many of these data flash locations are accessible duringapplication development. They cannot, generally, be accessed directly during end-equipment operation. Accessto these locations is achieved by either use of the companion evaluation software, through individual commands,or through a sequence of data-flash access commands. To access a desired data flash location, the correct dataflash subclass and offset must be known.

The key to the high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is the TI proprietary Impedance Track algorithm. Thisalgorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to create SOC predictions that can achieveless than 1% error across a wide variety of operating conditions and over the lifetime of the battery.

The fuel gauge measures the charging and discharging of the battery by monitoring the voltage across a small-value series sense resistor (5 to 20 mΩ, typical) located between the system VSS and the battery PACK–terminal. When a cell is attached to the fuel gauge, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell open-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.

The external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high-accuracy negative temperature coefficient(NTC) thermistor with R25 = 10.0 kΩ ±1%, B25/85 = 3435 K ±1% (such as Semitec NTC 103AT). The fuel gaugecan also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. When an external thermistor is used, a 18.2-kΩpullup resistor between the BI/TOUT and TS pins is also required. The fuel gauge uses temperature to monitorthe battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging and cell protection functionality.

To minimize power consumption, the fuel gauge has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, SLEEP+,HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The fuel gauge passes automatically between these modes, dependingupon the occurrence of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of these modes directly.

For complete operational details, see the bq27531-G1 Technical Reference Manual (SLUUA96).

8.3.1 Functional DescriptionThe fuel gauge measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The fuel gaugemonitors the charging and discharging of the battery by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5 mΩto 20 mΩ, typical) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the cell. By integrating charge passingthrough the battery, the battery SOC is adjusted during battery charge or discharge.

The total battery capacity is found by comparing states of charge before and after applying the load with theamount of charge passed. When an application load is applied, the impedance of the cell is measured bycomparing the OCV obtained from a predefined function for present SOC with the measured voltage under load.Measurements of OCV and charge integration determine chemical SOC and chemical capacity (Qmax). Theinitial Qmax values are taken from a cell manufacturer's data sheet multiplied by the number of parallel cells. It isalso used for the value in Design Capacity. The fuel gauge acquires and updates the battery-impedance profileduring normal battery usage. It uses this profile, along with SOC and the Qmax value, to determineFullChargeCapacity() and StateOfCharge(), specifically for the present load and temperature.FullChargeCapacity() is reported as capacity available from a fully-charged battery under the present load andtemperature until Voltage() reaches the Terminate Voltage. NominalAvailableCapacity() andFullAvailableCapacity() are the uncompensated (no or light load) versions of RemainingCapacity() andFullChargeCapacity(), respectively.

The fuel gauge has two flags accessed by the Flags() function that warn when the battery SOC has fallen tocritical levels. When RemainingCapacity() falls below the first capacity threshold as specified in SOC1 SetThreshold, the [SOC1] (State of Charge Initial) flag is set. The flag is cleared once RemainingCapacity() risesabove SOC1 Clear Threshold.

When the voltage is discharged to Terminate Voltage, the SOC will be set to 0.

8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 Power ModesThe fuel gauge has different power modes:• BAT INSERT CHECK: The BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a powered-up, but low-power halted, state where

the fuel gauge resides when no battery is inserted into the system.• NORMAL: In NORMAL mode, the fuel gauge is fully powered and can execute any allowable task.• SLEEP: In SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge turns off the high-frequency oscillator and exists in a reduced- power

state, periodically taking measurements and performing calculations.• SLEEP+: In SLEEP+ mode, both low-frequency and high-frequency oscillators are active. Although the

SLEEP+ mode has higher current consumption than the SLEEP mode, it is also a reduced power mode.• HIBERNATE: In HIBERNATE mode, the fuel gauge is in a low power state, but can be woken up by

communication or certain I/O activity.

The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7.

8.4.1.1 BAT INSERT CHECK ModeThis mode is a halted-CPU state that occurs when an adapter, or other power source, is present to power thefuel gauge (and system), yet no battery has been detected. When battery insertion is detected, a series ofinitialization activities begin, which include: OCV measurement, setting the Flags() [BAT_DET] bit, and selectingthe appropriate battery profiles.

Some commands, issued by a system processor, can be processed while the fuel gauge is halted in this mode.The gauge wakes up to process the command, then returns to the halted state awaiting battery insertion.

8.4.1.2 NORMAL ModeThe fuel gauge is in NORMAL mode when not in any other power mode. During this mode, AverageCurrent() ,Voltage() , and Temperature() measurements are taken, and the interface data set is updated. Decisions tochange states are also made. This mode is exited by activating a different power mode.

Because the gauge consumes the most power in NORMAL mode, the Impedance Track algorithm minimizes thetime the fuel gauge remains in this mode.

8.4.1.3 SLEEP ModeSLEEP mode is entered automatically if the feature is enabled (Op Config [SLEEP] = 1) and AverageCurrent()is below the programmable level Sleep Current. Once entry into SLEEP mode has been qualified, but prior toentering it, the fuel gauge performs a coulomb counter autocalibration to minimize offset.

During SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set. However, amajority of its time is spent in an idle condition.

The fuel gauge exits SLEEP mode if any entry condition is broken, specifically when:• AverageCurrent() rises above Sleep Current, or• A current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.

In the event that a battery is removed from the system while a charger is present (and powering the gauge),Impedance Track updates are not necessary. Hence, the fuel gauge enters a state that checks for batteryinsertion and does not continue executing the Impedance Track algorithm.

Device Functional Modes (continued)8.4.2 SLEEP+ ModeCompared to the SLEEP mode, SLEEP+ mode has the high-frequency oscillator in operation. Thecommunication delay could be eliminated. The SLEEP+ mode is entered automatically if the feature is enabled(CONTROL_STATUS [SNOOZE] = 1) and AverageCurrent() is below the programmable level Sleep Current.During SLEEP+ mode, the fuel gauge periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set. However,a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.

The fuel gauge exits SLEEP+ mode if any entry condition is broken, specifically when:• Any communication activity with the gauge, or• AverageCurrent() rises above Sleep Current , or• A current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.

8.4.3 HIBERNATE ModeHIBERNATE mode should be used when the system equipment needs to enter a low-power state, and minimalgauge power consumption is required. This mode is ideal when system equipment is set to its own HIBERNATE,SHUTDOWN, or OFF mode.

Before the fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE mode, the system must set the CONTROL_STATUS[HIBERNATE] bit. The gauge waits to enter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a valid OCV measurement andthe magnitude of the average cell current has fallen below Hibernate Current. The gauge can also enterHIBERNATE mode if the cell voltage falls below Hibernate Voltage and a valid OCV measurement has beentaken. The gauge remains in HIBERNATE mode until the system issues a direct I 2 C command to the gauge ora POR occurs. Any I 2 C communication that is not directed to the gauge does not wake the gauge.

It is the responsibility of the system to wake the fuel gauge after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. Afterwaking, the gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, and soforth).

8.5.1 Data Commands

8.5.1.1 Standard Data CommandsThe bq27531-G1 uses a series of 2-byte standard commands to enable system reading and writing of batteryinformation. Each standard command has an associated command-code pair, as indicated in Table 1. Becauseeach command consists of two bytes of data, two consecutive I2C transmissions must be executed both toinitiate the command function, and to read or write the corresponding two bytes of data. Additional details arefound in the bq27531-G1 Technical Reference Manual (SLUUA96).

8.5.1.2 Charger Data CommandsThe charger registers are mapped to a series of single byte Charger Data Commands to enable system readingand writing of battery charger registers. During charger power up, the registers are initialized to Charger ResetState. The fuel gauge can change the values of these registers during the System Reset State.

Each of the bits in the Charger Data Commands can be read/write. It is important to note that System Accesscan be different from the read/write access as defined in bq2419x charger hardware. The fuel gauge may blockwrite access to the charger hardware when the bit function is controlled by the fuel gauge exclusively. Forexample, the [VREGx] bits of Chrgr_Voltage_Reg4 are controlled by the fuel gauge and cannot be modified bysystem.

The bq27531 reads the corresponding registers of System_Stat_Reg8() and Fault_Reg9() every second to mirrorthe charger status. Other registers in the bq2419x are read when registers are modified by the bq27531.

8.5.2 Communications

8.5.2.1 I2C InterfaceThe fuel gauge supports the standard I2C read, incremental read, quick read, one-byte write, and incrementalwrite functions. The 7-bit device address (ADDR) is the most significant 7 bits of the hex address and is fixed as1010101. The first 8 bits of the I2C protocol are, therefore, 0xAA or 0xAB for write or read, respectively.

Figure 8. Supported I2C Formats

The quick read returns data at the address indicated by the address pointer. The address pointer, a registerinternal to the I2C communication engine, increments whenever data is acknowledged by the bq27531-G1 or theI2C master. “Quick writes” function in the same manner and are a convenient means of sending multiple bytes toconsecutive command locations (such as two-byte commands that require two bytes of data).

The following command sequences are not supported:Attempt to write a read-only address (NACK after data sent by master):

Figure 9. Attempt to Write a Read-Only Address

Attempt to read an address above 0x6B (NACK command):

Figure 10. Attempt to Read an Address Above 0x6B

8.5.2.2 I2C Time-OutThe I2C engine releases both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for 2 seconds. If the bq27531-G1 is holdingthe lines, releasing them frees them for the master to drive the lines. If an external condition is holding either ofthe lines low, the I2C engine enters the low-power SLEEP mode.

8.5.2.3 I2C Command Waiting TimeTo ensure proper operation at 400 kHz, a t(BUF) ≥ 66 μs bus-free waiting time must be inserted between allpackets addressed to the bq27531-G1 . In addition, if the SCL clock frequency (fSCL) is > 100 kHz, use individual1-byte write commands for proper data flow control. The following diagram shows the standard waiting timerequired between issuing the control subcommand the reading the status result. For read-write standardcommand, a minimum of 2 seconds is required to get the result updated. For read-only standard commands,there is no waiting time required, but the host must not issue any standard command more than two times persecond. Otherwise, the gauge could result in a reset issue due to the expiration of the watchdog timer.

Figure 11. I2C Command Waiting Time

8.5.2.4 I2C Clock StretchingA clock stretch can occur during all modes of fuel gauge operation. In SLEEP and HIBERNATE modes, a shortclock stretch occurs on all I2C traffic as the device must wake up to process the packet. In the other modes( BAT INSERT CHECK , NORMAL, SLEEP+ ) clock stretching only occurs for packets addressed for the fuelgauge. The majority of clock stretch periods are small as the I2C interface performs normal data flow control.However, less frequent yet more significant clock stretch periods may occur as blocks of Data Flash are updated.The following table summarizes the approximate clock stretch duration for various fuel gauge operatingconditions.

Typical Application (continued)9.2.1 Design RequirementsSeveral key parameters must be updated to align with a given application's battery characteristics. For highestaccuracy gauging, it is important to follow-up this initial configuration with a learning cycle to optimize resistanceand maximum chemical capacity (Qmax) values prior to sealing and shipping systems to the field. Successfuland accurate configuration of the fuel gauge for a target application can be used as the basis for creating a"golden" gas gauge (.fs) file that can be written to all gauges, assuming identical pack design and Li-ion cellorigin (chemistry, lot, and so on). Calibration data is included as part of this golden GG file to cut down onsystem production time. If going this route, TI recommends averaging the voltage and current measurementcalibration data from a large sample size and use these in the golden file. Table 5 lists the items that must beconfigured to achieve reliable protection and accurate gauging with minimal initial configuration.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.2.1 BAT Voltage Sense InputA ceramic capacitor at the input to the BAT pin is used to bypass AC voltage ripple to ground, greatly reducingits influence on battery voltage measurements. It proves most effective in applications with load profiles thatexhibit high-frequency current pulses (that is, cell phones) but is recommended for use in all applications toreduce noise on this sensitive high-impedance measurement node.

9.2.2.2 SRP and SRN Current Sense InputsThe filter network at the input to the coulomb counter is intended to improve differential mode rejection of voltagemeasured across the sense resistor. These components must be placed as close as possible to the coulombcounter inputs and the routing of the differential traces length-matched to best minimize impedance mismatch-induced measurement errors.

9.2.2.3 Sense Resistor SelectionAny variation encountered in the resistance present between the SRP and SRN pins of the fuel gauge will affectthe resulting differential voltage, and derived current, it senses. As such, TI recommends selecting a senseresistor with minimal tolerance and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) characteristics. The standardrecommendation based on best compromise between performance and price is a 1% tolerance, 100-ppm driftsense resistor with a 1-W power rating.

9.2.2.4 TS Temperature Sense InputSimilar to the BAT pin, a ceramic decoupling capacitor for the TS pin is used to bypass AC voltage ripple awayfrom the high-impedance ADC input, minimizing measurement error. Another helpful advantage is that thecapacitor provides additional ESD protection, because the TS input to system may be accessible in systems thatuse removable battery packs. The capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the respective input pin foroptimal filtering performance.

9.2.2.5 Thermistor SelectionThe fuel gauge temperature sensing circuitry is designed to work with a negative temperature coefficient-type(NTC) thermistor with a characteristic 10-kΩ resistance at room temperature (25°C). The default curve-fittingcoefficients configured in the fuel gauge specifically assume a 103AT-2 type thermistor profile and so that is thedefault recommendation for thermistor selection purposes. Moving to a separate thermistor resistance profile (forexample, JT-2 or others) requires an update to the default thermistor coefficients in data flash to ensure highestaccuracy temperature measurement performance.

9.2.2.6 REGIN Power Supply Input FilteringA ceramic capacitor is placed at the input to the fuel gauge internal LDO to increase power supply rejection(PSR) and improve effective line regulation. It ensures that voltage ripple is rejected to ground instead ofcoupling into the internal supply rails of the fuel gauge.

9.2.2.7 VCC LDO Output FilteringA ceramic capacitor is also needed at the output of the internal LDO to provide a current reservoir for fuel gaugeload peaks during high peripheral utilization. It acts to stabilize the regulator output and reduce core voltageripple inside of the fuel gauge.

10 Power Supply Recommendations

10.1 Power Supply DecouplingBoth the REGIN input pin and the VCC output pin require low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramiccapacitors placed as close as possible to the respective pins to optimize ripple rejection and provide a stable anddependable power rail that is resilient to line transients. A 0.1-μF capacitor at the REGIN and a 1-μF capacitor atVCC will suffice for satisfactory device performance.

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

11.1.1 Sense Resistor ConnectionsKelvin connections at the sense resistor are just as critical as those for the battery terminals themselves. Thedifferential traces must be connected at the inside of the sense resistor pads and not anywhere along the high-current trace path to prevent false increases to measured current that could result when measuring between thesum of the sense resistor and trace resistance between the tap points. In addition, the routing of these leadsfrom the sense resistor to the input filter network and finally into the SRP and SRN pins needs to be as closelymatched in length as possible else additional measurement offset could occur. It is further recommended to addcopper trace or pour-based "guard rings" around the perimeter of the filter network and coulomb counter inputs toshield these sensitive pins from radiated EMI into the sense nodes. This prevents differential voltage shifts thatcould be interpreted as real current change to the fuel gauge. All of the filter components need to be placed asclose as possible to the coulomb counter input pins.

11.1.2 Thermistor ConnectionsThe thermistor sense input must include a ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close to the TS input pin aspossible. The capacitor helps to filter measurements of any stray transients as the voltage bias circuit pulsesperiodically during temperature sensing windows.

11.1.3 High-Current and Low-Current Path SeparationFor best possible noise performance, it is extremely important to separate the low-current and high-current loopsto different areas of the board layout. The fuel gauge and all support components must be situated on one sideof the boards and tap off of the high-current loop (for measurement purposes) at the sense resistor. Routing thelow-current ground around instead of under high-current traces will further help to improve noise rejection.

Buyersshould obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integratedcircuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products andservices.Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and isaccompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduceddocumentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statementsdifferent from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for theassociated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designersremain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers havefull and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI productsused in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, withrespect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerousconsequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm andtake appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer willthoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended toassist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in anyway, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resourcesolely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TIproducts, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specificallydescribed in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications thatinclude the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISETO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYRIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, orother intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Informationregarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty orendorsement thereof.

Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers mustensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products inlife-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., lifesupport, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, allmedical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applicationsand that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatoryrequirements in connection with such selection.Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
